Others, not just Bush, deserve blame

·

I disagreed with President Bush all too often; however, as a graduate student in optometry, I’d like to at least think of myself as a critical thinker, and I believe the true problem with the past decade is not how we handled the beginning but how we let it end. The true issues at hand lie in our national debt and universal health care.

Get rid of the South, lose a lot of culture

·

Go ahead and get rid of the South, but in doing so you lose St. Augustine, Fla., the first town in U.S. history. You would rid yourself of the best collegiate football conference, the Southeastern Conference (SEC) – four straight Bowl Championship Series titles have gone to teams in the SEC.

Southern ways are not outdated

·

The other day I read your column titled “The South’s going to do it again.” It is a shame that you believe that my fellow southerners and I are “douche bags.”

No one cares about Sierra Club

·

Last night I had a horrible dream. Woodburn Hall burst into flames from faulty solar panels. I saw a wind farm near Tulip Tree commit genocide on a flock of majestic bald eagles. Then a volcano erupted from the ground, consuming the library. And worst of all, tuition was outrageous.

The pessimism of ‘Avatar’

·

The world of “Avatar” presents its audiences with a classic false choice. You can choose the technology and excessive overconsumption of modern society and get a human race forced to strip mine on an alien moon to save Earth. Or, you can abandon technology and seek some sort of communion with nature like the Na’vi.

Protect gay workers, too

·

Is a country where it is completely legal for a bigoted boss to blatantly discriminate against an employee based on his or her sexual orientation really a country where you want to live and work? I certainly know how I answer that question, and U.S. employers risk losing talented employees if more people answer how I do.

Negotiating with terrorists

·

Israel has held its own through multiple wars and even more bombing campaigns since its inception in 1948, but in this case, it needs to take a lesson from its Western ally for the sake of its continued survival.

Textbooks

Textbook Web sites offer cheaper prices

·

Instead of waiting in endless lines at T.I.S Bookstore at the beginning of each semester behind other last-minute shoppers, freshman Meredith Grubbs said she chooses to buy her textbooks online.

Students offer alternative to greek life

Members of a new organization are hoping to encourage women who didn’t join a sorority to still be involved with campus-wide events, participate in charity work and expand their social networks. IU Independent Council is holding its spring call-out meeting at 7:30 p.m. today in room 211 in the Kelley School of Business.


Jets Colts Football

Colts pass first test, now face larger one

·

It was a familiar story line, but this go-around had a different ending for the Indianapolis Colts.This time, there was no rust. There were no timing issues. And, most importantly, there was not another early, unexpected exit for a team that has faced more controversy in the last month than any other all season.
